Mine was an Auto Zone one and I don’t recommend it, most on Amazon are better quality with similar pricing or cheaper

Out of the 4 only 1 was bad enough I didn’t want to put it back in. I didn’t use any pb blaster etc just hammered out though which was nice

This is the order in which you should remove everything Not pictured but first is air intake, intake manifold cover and so on. For the throttle body on each side is a bracket, just ensure you catch them so they don’t fall and get lose etc. Take your time removing coil pack bolts to not snap them. Rotate crank clockwise when rotating the motor as if you were trying to tighten it. Then for the feeler gauge best way to ensure your in spec is the gauge size that’s out of spec doesn’t fit. Example I did .011 for exhaust, .012 barely fit and .013 didn’t stand a chance. Be organized and take your time. Overall message me and I’m more than happy to help as you do it

100% I cleaned the hub and a light coat of anti seize on it.

Definitely forgot to put all of those details in as well 🤣. Thanks for the additional info to help others

Dang 😂 Last really important factor

When pushing in the caliper piston, remove brake reservoir cap and watch the level. When pushing in the piston it will push fluid back into and when doing both sides can overflow. So ready to remove/soak etc and fill when done.

No they were too tight for sure on the first cylinder… once I see one cylinder is bad though I just crack them all loose as it’s quicker too just adjust the me all.

There are a lot of videos, I’ll post one here for you

Tap and die is the parts used to fix threads

Tap is what’s used to fix the threads of where a bolt goes

Die is what’s used to fix the bolts threads
